We have a floor intake on the left side of the robot, back side of the robot in this picture. You can see where it goes in the following:

I will post more pictures including of our current practice robot after school today. Our intake is relatively small, and we are hoping to not need to use it too often. Our main goal is to load from the hoppers only using the intake if there are no other options.

Currently gussets aren't in the design. Depending on testing we may choose to add riveted gussets to a few different parts of the robot if the frame bends at any point particularly easily. We are currently using 1/8th wall aluminum square tube so hopefully that will be sturdy enough.
Our practice frame is currently completed with assembly and testing well under way. We are hoping to be done with assembly of our competition robot by the end of the week. Hopefully that will give us enough time for testing to see if any additional frame strengthening is necessary.
